Caving in Israel / Spelunking

Caving in Israel is the ultimate adventure.

You must go on adventures to find out where you truly belong.

At Israel Extreme we encourage you to go and find yourself, and sometimes the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek. In our tiny country, we have natural limestone caves, lava caves, hand-carved caves (which were carved for various uses 1000’s of years ago), and Israel’s crown jewel, natural salt caves.

When was the last time you did something new for the first time?

These amazing salt caves are a geological phenomenon which exists in only two places in the world, in Israel and Iran (there are a few other places which have salt mines which are mistakenly thought to be salt caves. They are actually hand dug quarries, not naturally formed caves.) The mystery of the unknown is what makes spelunking / caving in Israel so special.
Going Spelunking / Caving gives you the opportunity to put your feet where no one has ever walked before, or where the last person who stepped there lived thousands of years ago. You will also be part of the exploration and discovery of new things. While caving in Israel you will feel like you are discovering a new world.

Caving in Israel is for every adventure lover wishing to explore the unknown.

Caves are like a living organism. To see how life breaths and feeds itself deep under the earth is an awe inspiring expedition. When caving you will learn about the delicate nature of each cave’s habitat and how the caves survive throughout the millennia. Each cave with their own “bloodstream” and respiratory system, it is a true phenomena.

Israel Extreme’s private tours of Caving in Israel are in: the Golan, Galilee, Jerusalem, Judean desert, Negev, and in the south of Israel.

For each of Israel Extreme’s Spelunking / Caving in Israel, we take into consideration the ages, abilities, skill levels, and preferences of our clients, and also adjust the type of caves we take our clients to depending on whether you are a large group, small group, or single traveler. So we can assure you a great Caving in Israel experience.

Live your life and do what makes you happy.

Lucky enough, we have a large variety of amazing caves which we have kept secret from the general public which we do take people to! That makes caving in Israel with Israel Extreme a truly unique experience.

Caving in Israel is a way to discover New Caves and Treasures...

At Israel Extreme we are very lucky to employ a few guides who work as well for the Cave Research Center at Hebrew University which also serves as Israel’s national speleological organization (they discover, perform the first entrance and map the new caves in Israel).

Overtime, our guides were part of very big and special discoveries of caves in Israel:
1) The discovery of Ma’arat Ayalon, where eight new animal species not yet know to science have since been discovered,

2) The discovery of a cave in the Beit Shemesh area where a treasure trove of coins, including many gold coins, dating back to 70 C.E., the time of the destruction of the 2nd Temple (one side of the coin is imprinted with an image of the holy temple in Jerusalem and the other side is imprinted with the four species used during the holiday of Sukkot: etrog, lulav, myrtle and willow), and

3) The most spectacular stalactite/stalagmite cave in Israel, which we call Abirim Cave, which is so far the most amazing and special salt cave ever found in the world. Due to our guides’ involvement in discovering new caves, there are a variety of caves in Israel which are only known to Israel Extreme, and we are the only company guiding caving tours there.
